these optiplex machines of this era are great canvases for a cheap lil gaming machine. I had an optiplex 3050 with an i5 7500 that I put an old 1050ti in and it ran real nice.
@@Superelectricguy2017 indeed! Part of me wants to make a setup like that just to use as my main machine gets stupidly hot even when playing older games.
I just threw in a LP GTX1650, closed the case and called it a day. I also removed the stock power supply and replaced it with a more powerful 350 watt low profile PSU. This way the 1650 had more space and breathing room along with more power if it needed it.
With out the gpu it can support a 4k monitor at 30hz through the display port.....optiplex's are life savers ,i have i7 9750h 4.5ghz turbo with RTX 2060.......its 6c 12t 16gb ram 1tb ssd........it on parr with i3 11100 ...for a laptop....its up there
I am watching this on an old optiplex 790 I upgraded. i5 2400 to an i7 2600, no gpu to a low GTX 1050 2gb and got 12gb of ram in it. also added an ssd as a main drive on top of the harddrive in it. It certainly isnt the best machine but for most low to medium end games it runs perfectly. Even minecraft runs at 300-400 fps without mods. For about $130 AUD including upgrades it was absolutely worth it. It also doesnt overflow out of the case, but only just
An OptiPlex 7050 has two M.2 connectors. One NVMe, one WiFi-style. They also have three SATA connectors. On mine, 256GB NVMe for boot, and WiFi use the M.2’s Two 1TB SSD for miscellaneous storage and the BluRay optical use the SATA’s.
Regarding the GPU, the PCIe Slot provides 75W and the 6pin cable from the PSU provides another 75W, the cpu on these optiplexes is usually a 65W, you can do your math, but the gist of it is that you can basically put any gpu with a 6pin power connector and it will be fine, not the most efficient, because PSU's efficiency peak is at at around 50 to 60% load if i remember correctly, but still in the safe zone, if you wanna upgrade you could look for a RX 6500 XT, i think the Gigabyte has a 6pin, and all it's ITX variants should be running a 6pin.
Love frankenstein builds. Im thinking of getting one and drilling holes in the panel to pass the riser cable through and screw on some wood platform or something to place the gpu 😂.
I clicked because I have one that I haven't Frankensteined yet. Mine has an i5 7500 though. You can install win11 on it fairly easy as there are plenty of tutorials on how to do it out there, not that I'll ever switch to 11.
Oh thanks for your efforts.But I researched it quiet a boy and got to know that rx590 will fit into my small foam factory cpu but thank you again for making and effort and giving your time.🙏
Youre right, wasnt aware of the prices. If your goal is just to play games then probably go for a console. If you want to edit videos, browse the web easier, mod games, etc. get a pc. The Optiplex in the video is a good pc, if you dont want to play cyberpunk at 4k
That's a big mess.😂 Better check your smoke detector has good batteries. I'm sure it works. But for how long? I have some safe 12 year old repurposed builds. Why this? Frankenstein!😢
Absolutely nothing wrong with these upgrades. 360W PSU for an i7-6700 (90W max synthetic) and a 1650 (75W max) is plenty of overhead, even for transient spikes while gaming.

Nothing wrong with that. I feel like an optiplex with 32 gb, 1660ti and i5 8500 would be a great setup tbh

@@Superelectricguy2017 hi I'm getting dell optiplex 7050 sff upgraded version
Love to see these hackjob builds, leaps and bounds more interesting to watch than new / top dollar builds.

I need to know what power supply do you use in this video? I hope you answers

did you upgrade the psu? or keep stock one?
I upgraded to 360 watt
is the camera cracked or something
He's recording with his eye and that's his eyelashes
good thing to see im not the only one why did this to a optiplex 7010
Yeah, these are amazing for first time pc gamers since they come pre-built and small mods make a big performance gain
Hello sir can you please please 🙏 explain that pcei riser thing i want to ad rx 590 but i cant it will be helpful sir.Thank you have an great day 🙏
